Soul Kissed I didn't know my soul was starving Until I got a taste of you Didn't know how much I was missing Until you did the things you do I thought I had felt true love Before I felt your tender touch You came into my life You have taught me so very much You showed me a different man One I knew nothing about One who can speak his feelings Doesn't always have to shout A man who can tell me he loves me And I know that is enough One who will stand beside me Even when things get a little tough You've shown me so much different Than I have ever known Just these few months with you It's amazing how much I have grown When it comes to decent men You are truly one of a kind I have been blessed in this lifetime To be able to have claimed you as mine ©2017 Desiree Cady All Rights Reserved Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace.

Untimely Goodbye Our journey is ending far too soon We have only just met I'm not ready to say goodbye Not prepared for it to end just yet In my head I had dreams Of building a life together Now it seems that's all changed As quickly as the weather I know it's not your fault And it's not what you would choose We just found this new love One we are nowhere near ready to lose Not sure now just what Our future is going to bring But let me tell you this I want you to know this one thing You came into my life Like a breath of fresh air Picked me up and gave me strength Showed me how someone can truly care I will never forget what it is That you and I share in our hearts The love I have for you will still be real Even when we are miles apart. ©2017 Desiree Cady All Rights Reserved Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace.

I can still feel your breath on my skin Your lips down my spine I can still taste your kiss As your lips touch mine I can still hear the sound of your voice As you whisper my name The touch of your hands As they slide down my frame As clear as the memories Are in my head I wish we were in the flesh Reliving them instead ©2017 Desiree Cady All Rights Reserved Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace.

Goodbye So many times I have let you in Just to play with my emotions Yes, it is true, love may cause tears But mine could have filled the oceans I am finally free of the chains  You once held over me Now you want to come back We'll make it work, you beg and you plead If I thought for one second That things could change That the words you spoke were true I would sacrifice my happiness for my family That is the girl you thought you knew But I have had time to examine myself I have also met someone I have learned there is more value to me And I deserve better than what you have done I stood by and gave it my all Through so many torturous years I am smiling now most everyday I will not go back to the tears You had a good woman One who loved you til she had nothing left But what I was doing to myself Was leading me to a slow death You made your choice  When you walked out that door Left me heartbroken in pieces ...

An Unpromised Vow It was a day of laughter A day of smiles When she put on her white dress And walked down the aisle. And as she walked toward  The groom in his black suit and tie The church filled with friends and family You couldn't find a dry eye. As she whispered her vows  Till death do they part  She had no prediction Of the hell that was about to start. But as soon as the crowd was gone And he carried her across the threshold  The threats and abuse reigned down  Leaving her dead inside with an intense cold. As time went on she became a prisoner  Trapped in her own private hell So much pain she held inside  It wasn't long until... It was a day of sadness  And a day of tears When they buried her body in the ground After just a few years.

Memorial Day Moment By Desiree Cady They stand and fight Put their lives on the line Give up everything they have Just to make sure our citizens are fine March into battle bravely Their strength pulls them through They lose their lives To protect me and you Some come home from battle Beaten and torn Scarred from their memories Their hearts are all worn They deserve our respect And yet so much more They are the soldiers, our heroes, The prisoners of war. ©2017 Desiree Cady All Rights Reserved Happy Memorial Day  And thank you to the many men and women who have fought, continue to fight, and will fight in the future to protect our America.  Words cannot express my love and Gratitude Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace.

New Love Wonder As the dawn of the day Seeps through the blinds I awake next to you With happiness in mind Not sure yet of what Our future will hold In my heart I hope next to you I will be growing old Our feelings are new Though We have just met I feel you understand me  Better than anyone yet I am scared of you You scared of me So afraid to fall and get hurt If only the future we could see Take a chance on me And hand me your heart I promise to cherish, love, and protect Each and every last part. ©2017 Desiree Cady All Rights Reserved Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace.

You You are the air that I breathe The fire in my soul You are what makes my life complete  You are what makes me whole. You are the stars in the sky The dawn's early light You're the one biggest reason  to continue the fight.  You are what God had in mind  when he created the mold Of His one perfect Angel  everything to treasure, cherish and hold. You're the warm summer breeze  or cool winter night, You are the sun in the sky Shining your eternal light. You are my daughters  pulled straight from my womb You were brought to this earth -- beautiful perfection to rid my world of gloom. Mommy loves you Cadylynn and Jasmine to the moon and back and around the universe a few more million times. ©2016 Desiree Cady All Rights Reserved Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace.

Free I remember you once told me That I could not survive without you Well sit back and prepare for the amazing things  that I am about to do For years I thought​ that it was you That held me tightly together But now I look back and I see It was me who was withstanding the harshest weather When you left I was so lost I was just so damned scared But looking back I see now I was the only one that cared I had so much love in my heart Devoted to what I thought we were That I would've never found the strength to leave So I am thankful that you did it first I am finally free to be the woman That I once used to be I am finally free to smile again To find the beautiful side of me. ©2017 Desiree Cady Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace.

Cold Whispers His words, they were nothing  but cold whispers in the middle of the night Caught up in the moment But oh they felt so right I try to tell myself that with time  Some people's feelings change But mine never did And that's what I find so strange His words they cut me deep Right to the very core Such cold and evil hatred He'd never expressed before So now I am wondering That passion that I felt Was it always truly one sided Was that the hand that I was dealt? Though every lie he told me His words made my heart melt His lying cold whispers they've left My heart an empty welt.

Heart Over Mind They say follow your heart She is supposed to know the way But she is running away with my emotions Which is making for a wonderful today What if she is falling  Just a little bit too fast? So scared she may be wrong Lord knows she was in the past So she has decided To have a conversation with her mind Despite what her heart says She will take each day one at a time She will not put up those walls Guard herself from possible pain There is no need to judge this ray of sunshine By the ones who brought her rain Live in the very moment Take a step away from the past The mind says give it a chance Maybe the heart is right... Maybe this one will last Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace. After a brutal attack a few years ago, I have been plagued by PTSD.

Reflection of broken mind Why is it that they call it dark  These feelings that I feel? Don't they know I need to tell In order for my mind to heal? I do not think this pain should be  Thought as negative or wrong Some people keep it locked up inside  That doesn't mean that I am not as strong For many years I let my pain  Stay buried deep within But I began to feel like I would burst At the slightest prick of a pin So now I let it out  Wear my heart upon my sleeve Hoping my words help others Find strength and in themselves believe I do not have it all figured out Of that I must admit I am still working on it day by day Each one I get better if only just a bit ©2017 Desiree Cady 

Daddy's little girl He was filled with nervous energy As he took her hand in his Being in the church on this day Was an event he'd never miss  He took his place beside her As she wore that white dress His heart filled with pride There was something he needed to address He said, " You are the most beautiful girl That  I have ever known I enjoyed every moment with you  Watched you over the years as you've grown" "I am about to watch you leave me Take the next step in your life I am about to give you to this man You are about to be his wife" He turned to the groom With a protective gleam in his eye Said, "This is Daddy's little girl, Don't you ever make her cry" "Consider this a warning This girl is my everything If you ever cause her harm Hell on you I promise I will bring" "Treat her like a princess Love her like a queen Show her what the word love is S...

Ptsd Thoughts You should no longer harm me You shouldn't  get to win What you did to my body It surely was a sin I should no longer have to feel The pain from your actions Thoughts of you are just that Those thoughts are pure distraction I should be able to live my life Not live in constant fear Not wonder where you may be hiding Behind what corner you may leer Most often I find your memory It hides in simple things  Scents and words and certain touches What horrid memories they bring Its been so long, you should move on At least that's what they say Don't they get that I would If I could figure out a way? Though I know its just a thought Only a memory Again it feels so real Like you are there again reigning your rage down over me I've tried to tell myself  That it was ONLY unwanted sex But what you did that night has haunted me  As if I were put under some evil hex It is so difficult to go...

Brave Soul Speak when your voice shakes Love even though your heart breaks Walk even if at first you stumble Stand tall even when you have every reason to crumble. Hope even when you think there's nothing left Wipe away your tears even after you've wept Love even after your heart has been broke Make the most of each day, for you have been blessed and awoke.

GAME OVER By Desiree Cady Sometimes life hands us a card from a deck when we were not even aware that we were a player in the game ...and it stops you dead in your tracks for a moment. You find yourself gridlocked, not knowing what to do.  Life has dealt me one of these cards. I always say that knowledge is power. When you are faced with disease, arm yourself with as much information as you can, so that you understand the beast that is bullying you. So I guess that is what I must do. For whatever reason, if you believe that sort of thing, someone has handed me another test. One, at first that I crumpled up and tossed away, because I hadn't studied. A pop quiz that I wasn't prepared for. But I've always been an overachiever. Not content with not succeeding. And in this case, I have no choice but to attempt to make some sort of sense out of this nonsense. But its going to take me some time to regroup. My mind wasn't quite prepared. I knew by the...

She was the beauty  And he was the beast Teaching her the things She never knew about in the least. He brought out a side of her That she never knew. Making her want to do things That enchanted lovers would do. He brought out a side Of lustful, raw, desire. Each time they touched Her mind went higher and higher. He brought about the  Free spirited wild side of her  But don't be fooled For he, too, had some things to learn. She taught him about things Like true love and trust. Taught him there should always be Passion not just lust. A new kind of world  He is living in now. He promised forever And stayed true to his vow. She gave him new feelings He'd never known about before  'Til it wasn't long he made a request  And his children she bore. He traded his life that he'd had in the past. Just to hear his little girls say "Daddy we love you" And with her a love that would last. ...
